Hi!
In the given WCF walkthrough it is said that we need IIS published service (and silverlight SDK5) to make it work with android (in my case) devices.
I have already had a service that has its own host (a console application) and works via tcp protocol. So I have just added a basicHttpBinding (as it is said in the tutorial) and made a proxy. My proxy class has synchronous methods only (no xxxAsynch nor xxxCompleted) and though it works fine so far.
So I`m interested why this approach is not described as the one between possible ones (because it seems easier as we don`t need to deal with IIS settings directly)? Does it have some disadvantages I haven`t noticed yet or something else?
